Complete Love Letters – Month 3 – I finished one, but ran out of fabric and had to order more.

5 Arrowhead blocks – DONE. Though only 4 got photographed. Oh well.

Love Letters Month 4 – Nope – I have a mental roadblock when it comes to this quilt, I guess.

Designer Mystery Month 9 – DONE!!

2 blocks for the Super Secret Project #3 – I got one finished and started the other one. My machine really didn’t like the fabric that was given to me and was eating the fabric. I don’t have a single stitch plate for my 6600 yet – so I will probably take it with me on Saturday to the Sassy Bee and work on it since that one has a single stitch plate.

Design Super Secret Project #4 aka my guild’s annual challenge quilt – I won’t be able to post anything – even teasers – about this until May because the members will vote on this and I know some of them read my blog. DONE!! I even pulled fabrics and ordered threads to start working on it next week. It has to be appliqued so I also traced the pattern on to the back of the base block so I can back-baste applique it.

Not on the list that got done:

4 Tsunami “quilt tops”. I really am having fun with them. I also pulled fabrics for 4 more “tops”. Sunday, I worked on another quilt top and got all the units made for it. Now just to trim the units and put it together.

Blessing Block #1 from Temecula Quilt Co. This was such a cute block and quick, that I couldn’t pass up another mystery from them.

I sure don’t know where this last week went off to but I want it back!! It flew by. Before I knew it, it was Friday and I hadn’t gotten anything done on my list!

Quilt the five tsunami quilt tops that are done. Get them ready for binding.

Again – try to get months 3 & 4 on Love Letters done.

Quick clean of sewing room. It is getting a bit messy.

Work on Terrain Maze at the Sassy S & B Quilters bee

Work on Month 1 of Merry Merry Snowmen. I ordered threads and I should be ready to start this now.

I do have to do some guild stuff this week. The kids are out of school on Friday for a little over a week since Spring Break is next week.

Month 3 Love Letters – nope not completely done. I did get the 12’’ portion of both blocks done. Just have to put the “setting triangles on both blocks”.

Make 2 blocks for Super Secret Project #3 – not done either

Why I didn’t get much of the above done:

Sandwich Sunshine Pineapples – DONE! Also quilted and bound!!

Sandwich Super-Secret Project #1 – DONE! Also quilted and bound!!

I will have photos of Sunshine Pineapples after tonight’s guild meeting and a “teaser” of Super Secret Project #1. Since it is a gift, I will have to wait until the recipient gets it in the mail.

I have a lot of “Super Secret Projects” going on lately. Some are for gifts and some are for challenges. I have a few posts already written waiting on the appropriate time that they can be posted so I don’t forget about them.

2 more tsunami quilts (this month *may* be the last month we are collecting them, so I want to make up for not making so many before) – only one got done

Bind the 4 tsunami quilts I made last week – wow… the only thing I got completely done this week.

Sandwich Super-Secret Project #1 – nope… not this either.

That may be all I am able to get done this week. I had planned to sew all day today, but since my office chair broke (boohoo!) I have to spend today shopping for a new one. I hope I can find a new one relatively fast and cheap.

No Listed Goals. Jury duty was on Tuesday and while I didn’t get picked for a jury (my case was settled before the jury process started. I did have to wait around all day because though I was slated to start in the morning, I guess settling took a bit longer and I had to wait until the afternoon). I was starting to feel icky that morning, but was hitting a full-blown cold by the afternoon.
